Unlike other units of measurement, this one is a bit complicated. For other types of civil works, we have some rules which are simple to follow. For painting, we have to calculate the surface area in coefficient method (IS 2015 – 1987)

This may be funny or weird if you are new to the field. Even experienced guys also sometimes surf the internet to find these basic formulas. You don’t need to memorize, the more you use this formula in day to day work the more it will be automatically stored in your mind.

Measurement is the single most important thing we should learn first at civil construction. Especially If you are new to the field. Here is the list of measurements used for different types of works.
